Tilney St Lawrence is a quiet fenland village where older brick properties carry redundant stacks that leak and deteriorate — we remove them to below roof level and leave the roof weathertight.
Tilney St Lawrence sits in the flat marshland between King's Lynn and Wisbech, a village of farmworkers' cottages and Victorian brick houses that have changed little in outline over the past century. In this low-lying, damp-prone landscape, a failing chimney stack has nowhere to hide — water gets into the roof void and shows on ceilings quickly. Many of the chimneys here haven't connected to a working fire since oil-fired central heating arrived in the 1970s and 80s.
We take these stacks down to below the ridge or valley as appropriate, re-bed and re-point any disturbed tiles, and fit a ventilated cap to the flue opening. Work is always done from scaffold — the fenland wind alone is reason enough not to work from a ladder at ridge height. Ask us for a free quote on your chimney stack.
